Current devmanual suggest to not use line lengths over 80 characters.

I wrote a repoman check that checks that the value doesn't go over 80.
This is useful for tools like eix that show the DESCRIPTION. The thing is that lots of ebuilds will fail this currently. Do you think we should use a higher limit like 100? qualudis seems to use 120 currently.
